Design of national adaptation platforms (Portugal)

Countries and regions are under growing pressure to build additional resilience in response to observed and projected climate change. Additionally, Member States and regional governments are expected to adjust their climate policies in response to the EU’s call for a smarter, faster and more systemic adaptation, as set forward in the 2021 EU Strategy on Adaptation to Climate Change. A profusion of national and regional adaptation portals, platforms and other initiatives aiming to support policymakers and practitioners in their adaptation planning has led to confusion amongst users about good practice and what is relevant, salient and credible information.

Find, extract, curate and make available climate and non-climate knowledge and information (e.g., climate projections, socio-economic, environmental and demographic data, case studies, adaptation measures, cost-benefit analysis, among others) from relevant CCA-related portals, platforms and publications, necessary to support the adaptation decision-making planning cycle.
